Application Application ® This RESISTRON temperature controller is an integral part of the "series 400", the outstanding feature of which ® is its microprocessor technology. All RESISTRON temperature controllers are used to control the temperature of heating elements (heatsealing bands, beaded bands, cutting wires, heatsealing blades, solder elements etc.), as required in a variety of heatsealing processes.
Description of the controller the system components, in other words the heatsealing band, the impulse transformer, the wiring, the timing sig- nals and the controller itself, are compatible with one another. We will be pleased to contribute our many years of experience your towards optimizing heatsealing system.
Designed according to EN 61558 with a one-section bobbin. Optimized for impulse operation with RESISTRON temperature controllers. Specified according to the heatsealing application ( ROPEX Application Report). Communication interface CI-USB-1 Interface for connecting a RESISTRON temperature controller with diagnostic inter- face (DIAG) to the PC (USB port).
Accessories and modifications Adapter for top hat rail mounting, HS-Adapter-01 ® For mounting the RESISTRON temperature controller RES-415 on a top hat rail (DIN TS35). Allows the controller to be installed in the electrical cabinet, for instance, where it is only accessible to authorized persons. Lockable door TUER-S/K-1 Transparent door (with lock) for mounting on the bezel of the controller.
The temperature range and temperature coefficient settings can be specified in range the ROPEX visualization software ( section 10.10 "Diagnostic interface/visuali- zation software (as of software revision 100)" on page 33): Temperature range: 200°C, 300°C, 400°C or 500°C Temperature coefficient: 400…4000ppm (variable setting range)

Connect core to ground. Use transformers with a one section bobbin. The power, duty cycle and voltage values must be deter- mined individually according to the application ( ROPEX SEC. Application Report and "Accessories" leaflet for impulse transformers).
ROPEX line filters are specially optimized for use in RESISTRON control loops. Providing that they are installed and wired correctly, they guarantee compliance with the EMC limit values. You can find the exact specification of the line filter in the ROPEX Application Report calculated for your particular heatsealing application.

ROPEX visualization software ( section 10.10 "Diagnostic inter- face/visualization software (as of software revision 100)" on page 33). If the ACTUAL temperature is inside the specified tolerance band when the "START" signal is activated, the tem- perature diagnosis is also activated.
As of software revision 100, an additional delay time (0..9.9s) can be set in the ROPEX visualization software. The first time the lower tolerance band limit is exceeded, the temperature diagnosis is not activated until the parame- terized delay time has elapsed.

Startup and operation An overheated or burned-out heatsealing band must no longer be used because the TCR has been altered irreversibly. 9.4.2 Burning in the heatsealing band If a new heatsealing band has been used, the zero point is first of all calibrated while the band is still cold by acti- vating the "AUTOCAL"...
If the zero has not been calibrated successfully, an erro message indicates error codes 104…106, 211. In this case the controller configuration is incorrect ( section 9.3 "Controller configuration" on page 22 and ROPEX Application Report). Repeat the zero point calibration after the controller has been configured correctly.

Controller functions Changes are accepted immediately even when a heating process is active. The maximum value of the setting range is limited to 300°C. The set point that is selected for the heatsealing temperature must be greater than 40°C. If not, the heat- sealing band will not be heated up when the "START"...
Controller functions 2. If the "START" signal (24VDC or contact) is activated, the AUTOCAL function is not executed. 3. Directly after the controller is powered up, the AUTOCAL function cannot be activated if a fault with error code 101…103, 201…203, 801 or 9xx occurs ( section 10.14 "Fault areas and causes" on page 38). If the con- troller has already operated correctly - a minimum of once - after powering up, the AUTOCAL function cannot be activated with error codes 201…203, 304, 308, 801 or 9xx.
The length of the measuring impulses generated by the controller can be set with this parameter. It may be nec- essary to set a measuring impulse that is longer than the default 1.7ms for certain applications ( ROPEX Appli- cation Report).

Controller functions Trouble-free operation of the controller is only guaranteed within the specified input voltage toler- ance range. An external voltage monitor must be connected to prevent defective heatseals as a result of low line voltage. Page 32 RES-415 Version 1...
10.10 Diagnostic interface/visualization software (as of software revision 100) An interface with a 6-pole Western socket is provided for systemdiagnostics and process visualization. This inter- face allows a data connection to be set up to the ROPEX visualization software using the ROPEX communication interface CI-USB-1.
